TITLE: Civil/Municipal Engineering Services, Request For Standing Offer

LOCATION: Various Locations, BC and Yukon

DESCRIPTION OF WORK: Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is inviting Civil Engineering consulting firms with Municipal Engineering expertise to submit proposals for Standing Offers. This procurement will follow a one phase submission process. The selected consultants shall provide a range of services as identified in the Required Services.

The objective of this standing offer is to retain the selected consultant(s) through individual call-ups to carry out site assessments, proposals, infrastructure design and/or construction supervision services for municipal/civil engineering projects in various locations in British Columbia and Yukon Territory. Environmental input may be required but will be handled through the use of sub consultants and /or existing environmental standing offers with PWGSC. Environmental expertise will therefore not be part of this submission other than to show experience in engaging and integrating such input. The successful firm(s) will participate in federal projects for various departments in various locations through the Province of British Columbia and Yukon Territory with a majority of the work in the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island.

Proponents shall be licensed or eligible to be licensed to practise in the province of British Columbia and/or Yukon Territory. Firms should be able to demonstrate successful delivery of these services for a broad variety of projects over the last five (5) years by fully experienced and qualified engineers. In general, the firm and its personnel will be evaluated on the basis of their demonstrated understanding of the scope of services, their approach and methodology to providing those services, the quality of their relevant experience in this area, as well as the cost of the provision of the services.

The total dollar value of all Standing Offers is estimated to be $1,200,000.00 (HST Included). Individual call-ups will vary, up to a maximum of $250,000.00 (HST included). Proponents should note that there is no guarantee that the full or any amount of the Standing Offers will be called-up; PWGSC will award call-ups only when the specific services to be provided under the Standing Offer are needed.

This procurement is covered under the provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), (World Trade Organization - Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP).
